compass on the journey): TWO MILLION NEW GARDENS PLANTED IN 2008. Backyard

Ok - I've thought about it, and I'm in. The state of the garden now, it pretty much counts as starting from scratch. I'll take some before photos soon. Thanks for the shove ;)

Since we just moved,I guess that this will be considered a new garden and this year my garden will be nearly 1 acre(total when I add the beds together)which is way bigger than we ever have had before, so I am in.

I post about my life and frugal lifestyle on doublenickelfarm.blogspot.com

And we just finished our greenhouse, something we have never had before. And yes after 9-11 I have often wondered what if?

I'm in as I realised this afternoon that I did all my planting in January so it was 2008.

Now, wise one, tell me how to harvest artichoke seeds from the dead flower head?

The Crone at Wits End said...

LOL, Dunno! Put an old stocking over the top to collect the seed? That's what I do with everything else!

I have only ever grown them from digging some up from a friends stash.

Ok so I started yesterday!!
I planted zucchin and lettuce seeds...
Also broccoli, snow pea, lettuce and leek seedlings. We have a water tak which we are using for water, also catching shower water and using a watering can. I think we may also have some self sown pumpkins from compost but not sure if they're going to do anything or not... Will be trying to keep it all alive....

I meant to say carrot seeds, not lettuce seeds....

I need help with motivation, so please sign me up! :) Having read Michael Pollan's "Omnivore's Dilemna" this week, I'm keen to get pro-active about my family food security.
